This Was a Triumph (Huge Success)

Yes, we’re still alive. No, we didn’t make it to all 30 parks. No, fast food will never, ever taste good again.

I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that because of Bob Harkin’s excellent article and shout-out to the site, we might be getting a few extra visitors here wondering just how the rest of our trip went. Surprise! We didn’t self destruct (much); it just became increasingly difficult to find the time to update the website between sleeping in the car and eating canned chili with a side of Cup ‘o Noodles. I really don’t have many great excuses for not updating the site in the six months after the trip, though. I’m going to blame “Completing College” on that one. Will that slide?

In any event — barring a zombie uprising — the site will start seeing a few more regular updates. We have a ton of random stories to tell, though some detail will be left for the book we’re attempting to write. We know you’re just itching with questions! Where are our intrepid heroes now? How many stadiums did they make it to? Was Tim Horton’s really anything to write home about?

Stay tuned, true believers.

About three weeks ago, Aman and I made the decision to turn off the Zune (fuck you, iPods!) and spend almost all of our many hours in the car holding conversations. No, we ...

An update two days in a row is probably a bad sign, yeah? The moon will soon turn blue, the oceans will flood, and Eddie Murphy will make a good movie ...

I am sitting in a car on the way to Cincinnati right now. Aman is driving (temporarily without my navigating prowess), and we’re passing through a host of small towns surrounding Indianapolis. Every ...

I figure I'd stick an addendum to Aman's post: you can find a sampling of our Kansas City photos above.

Bleeding Kansas

Denver? Minneapolis? …Kansas City?! The drive from Seattle to Denver is an alien landscape. East of Seattle (forever a geographical definition in my mind) is empty and when I say empty ...

Wow, it's been a pretty hectic couple of weeks. After Lake Tahoe, Aman and I set about on the absolute worst leg of the trip: Tahoe to Seattle, to Denver, then to Minneapolis. ...

About Our Road Trip

This trip is a long time in the making. We're two college students facing an existential crisis. As such, we decided to plan a trip so epic and massive in scope that we would be practically inviting the new and interesting to come our way. What you see now is the tip of the iceberg.
